FINE ART PHTOGRAPHY

HERON ISLAND

A few years ago I spent a week on the Australian island of Heron Island in the Great Barrier Reef watching turtles. In the month of January you can get lucky to observe turtles as they come ashore every night to lay their eggs and also see the first baby turtles hatch from their eggs. It is a very impressive experience to watch these great creatures. It's unbelievable how much energy they use to move across the beach in the middle of the night, digging a deep hole with their fins and then it takes hours until they are back in their natural element, the ocean.
